It's typical of big corporations, unfortunately, to be completely out of touch with reality. The reason is very mundane. If you have been interviewed for a position in a company like MS (or HP, or whatever), you know that apart from your qualification you have to show enthusiasm about the company's products and brand and what not. Thus they select the strongest liars and people who are capable of being convincing hypocrites, or zombies. Then when you work there you go to meetings where again you praise the great products and great brands and great company etc. etc. So when you go to the very top, people there have spent decades listening to this bull**** and hardly know what's happening. This "culture" thingie, together with processes and stuff, make them like cruise liners - massive things that are good in moving in one predetermined direction. It takes a big crisis for them to change (like what happened to Apple when they almost disappeared). Replacing Ballmer won't help, they need to get in real trouble.

Because despite all their bureaucracy and inertia, they have some smart people who see what's happening. And what's happening is that companies like Apple managed to get into enterprise by mere attractiveness of their products. What Microsoft can do with this knowledge is a separate question, but they did notice the threat and the opportunity correctly. And because mobile is a tiny business (almost like an experiment) they managed to start doing something there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
What a bunch of losers and their multi-billion dollar company of whom's products can be found in nearly every household and business... losers. If they'd gone strictly business they'd be competing with people who only haven't moved to touchscreens because they're scared of the technology. Blackberry has pretty much always been outdated and I truly can't see how it's a smartphone. I do agree about Ballmer though, I say let Belfiore run the show.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
RIM never tried to make Blackberry anymore more than what it is. It's a non-premium smartphone platform that offer[ed] superior email and communications capabilities with the best QWERTY keyboard on the market. It also tied into their BES middleware which sits on top of Exchange and offers 500+ security policies to allow corporations to manage their fleet of smartphone users.

Blackberries started off as Glorified Pages.

They are not popular because they have the best smartphone OS. BBOS has always been **** even compared to Palm, WinMo, and Symbian. They are popular because they were superior communication devices and offered capabilities that were absent from other smartphones.

UMA, BBM that is faster than a text message and works over data, superior device and communications security/encryption, good build quality and ridiculously good battery life.

I tried a Bold 9780 for a couple weeks and I could seriously use the **** out of it and still get 3+ days of battery life out of that device.

And RIM is paying for their outdatedness in the consumer market right now. It has never been a secret that RIM's foothold in 1st world countries were always the corporate sector, and they did well otherwise only because of their low-cost curve smartphones, especially in emergent markets where data fees are a hinderence (RIM's servers encrypt and compress everything between the blackberry and the internet, so it saves a TON of data). RIM has always kept their phones on outdated hardware to lower costs and and raise margins. They operated on ridiculously profit margins than Android manufacturers, and I'd assume WP7 manufacturers as well...
[Windows Phone 7 General] greenbrd:
H

Not their handheld consumer products. Zune climbed to 5% market share before being killed off. Hell, MS is even rebranding the name to distance the software from the stench of the hardware failure.

Not only does WP7 have to compete against Apple and Google, it also has to compete against MS's horrendous reputation. It's going to take way more than a snappy interface and portable XBox avatars to battle up that hill.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Microsoft didn't rebrand Zune for that. They call the ZuneHD the Zune HD because you can watch HD video on it, among other things. It's like Samsung going from Galaxy S to Galaxy S 4G, because you can get 4G on the latter.

Also, I wouldn't call Zune a failure. Apple has a borderline monopoly on PMPs and Media on that platform/formfactor. It is hard to compete with a company who has such a foothold even if your product is superior (which the Zune/ZuneHD basically is, at least for music/video purposes) and you have billions of advertising dollars.

TBQH, from a hardware/software standpoint, Microsoft soft did little wrong with Zune, ZuneHD especially, and Zune Software. It's just hard to compete with a market dominator. Apple would say the same about Desktop Operating systems, and I'm pretty sure Linux users would quickly agree...

Also, Apple's fanbase are probably the hardest users to win over. It comes as no surprise that all of Android's growth is coming at the Expense of Nokia, RIM, Microsoft, and HP/Palm - but NOT Apple.
[Windows Phone 7 General] greenbrd:
From what I've read, MS will stop producing Zune hardware and will fold the software into its Live Services, possibly eliminating the Zune name altogether. Sounds like a market failure to me.

And it isn't just Apple fans that helped iPod grab 75% of the market. If it was just Apple fans then they would have only reached 10% or so like with their PC share.

Apple has a reputation for being innovative, sleek, and cool. MS shares none of those traits.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pasp1001:
why i dont prefer wp7 over my blackberry,android,winmo,symbian and ios are the following simple facts... That doesn mean that i dont like the system or dont see it as a "up there with the others" in due time... i'm not into the liking or disliking business ether...

facts of life...

1:

i tried to give my optimus7 to MY 75yearold GRAND MA and she said(asked)-

-i want to be able to reject calls with messages in native language... Her feature phone does that.. Her 5years old feat-phone does that in native euro language...

wp7 cant do it even in english...

- Ok grandma, i'll have my phone back... sad i...

2:

look at the camera settings thing...

You got so much emphases on CAMERA on WP7, u got even a dedicated key, u got a tremendous amount of settings AND A BIG RESET BUTTON to go with the flow...

You even got a special section in the SETTINGS MENU DEDICATED TO CAMERA...

And then u got treated like an imbecile by wp7-development team with their belief of

-"yes, we know whats best for u retards, and saving settings aint 1 of them..." Opposite to any logic, or any other THING WITH CAMERA IN IT out there...

So, why i dislike wp7, to put it in simple words-

1. lack of functions and features

2. bad approach by wp7 development team to the OS
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
My summary once again:

WP7 UI is great. Native ecosystem too.

After few months I badly need features and cannot accept anymore so many limitations. I feel dumbed.

With the promised updates and MS tempo we will have functional device with more logic inside around Xmas 2011. Too late for me to wait.

Sending myself a .doc to just get it to the device is IDIOTIC. As well as many other things there.

Monday I get my Android device, second try. I will see than.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
I'm quite certain that statement was in regards to speed and responsiveness both of which are on par with WP7, a statement that cannot be made about android.

Where do you see lag in scrolling? I have well over 200 apps on my phone and absolutely zero lag.

Eh, a well coded third party app runs fine, an iphone port that's been reskinned... not so much. Ilomilo is completely lag free for me.

As I've said a million times over, android does a lot of things, WP7 just takes a good chunk of those things and does them much better.

You can't send videos? And? That's just another one of those features that no one uses except in an argument to demean WP7. I mean I wouldn't mind uploading a video of my son to facebook every once in awhile but hey... I own a computer... I don't expect my phone to be one. Aside from that WP7 email beats androids email 1000 times over.

I'll give you that one, it'd be nice to have it cache data at least on the default applications.

Bubble Birds is lagging on your device? I'm quite certain that has nothing to do with the hardware but rather the coding. Otherwise I'd contact your OEM because Iplay much more graphically straining games and they run smooth.

I haven't run into an issue with any live tileor push notification outside of alpha jax so I can't really comment there.

Again, works perfect for me... I'm guessing your device is HTC...

Microsoft has proven with the Xbox that they're ready to throw money at something for half a decade until it becomes big... Not the business practices I'd recommend but obviously they're doing something right. I still love the transitions though.

Eh, Ilomilo is a testament to what it could be but first they need to stop being a "me too" company and innovate with their games. I don't care if you're getting Angry Birds, put some of those Xbox live devs to work. How about getting torchlight mobile.

Never really bothered me... I mean the WAP sites are usually more finger friendly.

Flash is pretty much dying off now that they outsourced all development to third world countries.

Android updates are pretty much like a Mac update. You want the latest update? Buy the latest phone. Sure it will be outdated in a couple of weeks but hey... it was fun while it lasted right? This update is primarily bug fixes and I can assure you, you can really feel the difference.

Then it would go the way of the zune... I have one laying around here somewhere... havent seen or cared about it in a couple of months...
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
The part about Exchange 2003 not supporting HTML mail was fun read.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
It's even more idiotic for a company that makes Office and offers Skydrive.

But you knew about it, didn't you?
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
My WM 6.5 phones can't display HTML from Hotmail either. Not the fault of Android. Even Microsoft itself admits that the EAS protocol vesion for Hotmail is equivelent of Exchange 2003 and to fully impelement EAS of 2007 is too complicated. So far only two devices can display HTML email from Hotmail via EAS:

WP7

iPhone

On the other hand, Google has no problem to implement EAS on its Gmail and fully supports HTML email. Sometimes you just wonder what's going on with Microsoft.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
This is also the case for Android phones, since most Android manufacturers licensed ActiveSync from Microsoft to implement on their handsets. WP7 and iOS force the device to get the HTML email: Android and WM devices stick to the standard.

On Windows Mobile it's better to use the Windows Live for Windows Mobile Push Hotmail client than to use ActiveSync for anythign other than Syncing your calendar (since WL4WM syncs contacts with presense info and merges them with existing contacts).

Like I said my Android phones don't have an issue getting HTML email from my Exchange 2007-hosted account. The issue is the protocol they used. BTW, WP7 doesn't even support Synching tasks, which is laughable.

Bye.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
N8ter, you're going too far calling people idiots. That's unwarranted.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Doesn't change the fact that I plug the phone with the cable to the PC

and I can sync media but for idiotic reason I CAN'T sync any .doc or pdf the same way.

Yesterday I had to send 4 documents from my phone to somebody and I had to send 4 separate emails, that's profi, yeah.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Happens when exiting apps many times a day.

Simply not true. In some cases yes but in most it's lacking features.

That's the problem. Who are you to decide what limitations are put to the device?

It's not even PC - smartphone debate. Since I can send 20 pictures in one email and my email app is supporting many PC features, video sending is just one of them. It's nothing fancy. It's just a hole in thinking that you can send one thing but the other - not. Just like docs sending. And there's no real answer "why".

Yeah, it's dying tomorrow. Haha, that's so funny.
[Windows Phone 7 General] conantroutman:
I notice some of you are wondering why this thread is still open..........

Im wondering that myself........

Seems unfair to close every other thread that pops up in this section but due to the fact that they all too often drift ridiculously off topic then its just going to keep happening I'm afraid.

I dont think this was ever a valid topic from the start to be honest..........

People are always going to complain about something more than they praise something. Thats just human nature.

There are too many users in this section who are ready to throw around words like "troll" and "fanboy" just because somebody disagrees with them. :confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Desperus:
Please post your max CPU overclocking speed, as well as advice, Kernels, etc. you are using..

I am using aospCMod, setting max CPU in cyanogenmod performance settings, and the max stable speed I'm getting to is 787 MHz..

Is there any Kernel that will support higher speeds?

Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
It's not about the kernel . It already supports up to 864mhz. Your chip can't handle higher freq because of vdrop .

Anyway I get up to 806 on void and now I am waiting for andy to release oc for Ginger 2.3.2 and see the maximum there
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Daiskei:
I get 768 max on Mik's CM7 rom. My old Optimus used to get 787 but ever since my replacement I can't go any higher. It really is true that it depends on the actual phone and how high it will allow you to go so there is going to be a lot of different results and no definite way to show one person how to obtain a higher OC.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ungaze:
768 Stable. Can run up to 806 if I only use regular apps. Games are of a different story, so I guess 806 isn't stable for me.

don't we have the same processor as HTC legend? How come it can overclock up to 1.2?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] alex ainsley:
Hello

I can get 806MHz but my phone car't handle it for long so about 787MHz is stable for me.

But a tip I've found is if your using the ( setcpu ) app to overclock your phone is Have a profile so when you've put your phone to sleep set it so the max frequency is 320MHz.

It boosts your battery life.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vivasanti:
806 max on Mik's CM7 rom, no crashes or lock ups.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sondw:
My best is 600Mhz ...........

I can't install custom roms.... :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ziaasp:
729 mhz with same power. I don't want my processor to **** on battery life
[Optimus One, P500, V General] michael.ahdett:
I get kernel panics past 729. Setcpu profile for 600 with screen off.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] FnH84:
I use max 729 ondemand and it's stable. I intend to use this phone for 1-2 years, so not even going to consider setting the cpu any higher. Plenty of speed this way.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] abekrausz:
LGP500H from Telus unlocked and using on Bell network.

CM7 GB2.3.3 from Mik_os Kernel 2.6.32.9

OC to Max. 787

Min. 245

Running perfect, no panic at all.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jason_V:
Stable at 787/122 - Interactive governor but I use SetCPU profiles and only do 729 on battery down to 60% then drop to 600/122 after that.

Stock ROM w/Mik's kernal.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kinggujju:
With megatron rom....default 729.....can handle 768 in performance mode.....I m happy with megatron v1

(2.2) but will be waiting for cm7 and Andy s builts go bug free though.....but for sure that happens we will be waiting for megatron v2 (2.3.3)

I have a lg optimus with tmobile can I unlock it for att
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Anands3:
Max-806

Min-245

using Nessy v2.2.2 ROM...Stable
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Explore3:
If you have been a t-mobile customer for 60 days and have $10 in your prepaid account, you can call and have them unlock the phone. Say you are going overseas and need it to be unlocked. However, you should be aware that your phone will run at 3G speeds with t-mobile and throughout the world. However, the phone does not support 3G speeds with ATT. ATT uses different frequencies for 3g. Your phone will work on att, just not at 3G speeds.

If they say that the optimus is not listed, ask them to submit the unlock request anyway and indicate the phone is an Optimus if the comment section. 2 agents I talked to said the Optimus was not on the form they submit to the unlock department. However, the second agent indicated that it was an Optimus T in the comment section and submitted the form to the unlock department. I received my code 24 hours later.

PS New to the site and can not post link.

806 is stable for me using aosp's 2.32.33 kernel. Tried 825 but a few random reboots and I set it to 806.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dongimin2:
Cyanogenmod 7, 768 MHz. Can achieve 806 and is stable for a while, but gets Kernel Panic every now and then when it is higher than 768.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vin-ivar:
Does the battery life reduce a lot if overclocked to 729?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pwntigo:
not at all, 729 and 600 uses same voltage, there is difference between 480 to 600/729 though
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shooter16:
Lol.I use my phone with 786/844 mhz stable,no kernel panics, nothing.i am using LOL v1.4.2.Yesterday i used the phone for about 4 hours ,playing nfs shift angry birds etc etc. I am the only one who reaches that values in stable conditions?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ungaze:
Have you tried gameboid? I'm currently stable at 768 max anything higher than that = problem. Gameboid would start but after a few secs, closes and back to homescreen.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shooter16:
Well...i guess i am one lucky guy xD. I am using the phone overclocked at 844 mhz for about 4 hours. I've been playing nes games, i also tried gameboid and it didnt crashed,browsing internet, listening music, angry birds ,nfs shift, and i didn't have ONCE a kernel panic.I 'ved used the phone with 866 mhz i it runed fine for two hours of intense using, until it collapsed.Is that normal ,or am i one lucky bastard?

[Optimus One, P500, V General] photog:
Sorry for getting off topic here, but to do what you guys are talking about, the phone needs to be rooted? Is there a step-by-step process somewhere to get from stock up to the point these mods can be made? I think in this one message string about a half dozen ROMs have been mentioned. Is there a poll, or topic somewhere extolling the virtues of each ROM and which are the easiest to implement?

Thanks!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] alex ainsley:
I can't run at 806mhz, my phones just dies.

stable at 787mhz :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
Please also mention which governer u use because you can set 806 Max and powersaver governer and it will never panic. You can't call this oc but uc.
[Nook Color General] crows4hire:
I have the latest Honeycomb build installed directly on my NC and it is running great. The only major issue I have seen deal with paid apps being unable to communicate with the Google license server. It appears as though, when the app attempts to verify it's license before startup, that the NC does not allow the request to pass through it's WiFi connection. Since the app cannot verify it's license, the app will not run. Has anyone encountered this? Surely there must be a simple tweak to allow the apps to access the internet! Thanks!

Sorry guys. But the Incredible S from HTC has a signed bootloader too. So crying to HTC wont reap you any benefits either.
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
Actually, if SE manages to get 2.3.3 running as well on our X10's as it's running on the arc, I don't really care. I wan't my phone to "just work", to cite iPhone users. Though I'll of course feel bad for the developers if SE decides to patch it, especially after seeing these major breakthroughs lately.
[XPERIA X10 General] DeViL_DiCe:
I don´t want my phone just to work. If the update from SE proves to be a crappy port from Arc count me out. I prefer to have a stable custom rom with little bugs than having a product that is just for show, that doesn´t perform nowhere near the Arc.

If SE is honest and gives us a fully working 2.3.3. very fluid and fast, then X10 will be fighting again with the big dogs.

If this update is just for patching holes and giving more locks then shame on you SE. If this happens and i buy another SE phone then shame on me. =) Although i can´t resist the looks of their models....
[XPERIA X10 General] Hanzo.Hasashi:
Die Hard X10! :D

Anyone knows why they said they will leave out the camera features?

although it wouldn't matter i guess since we could port them back on, right?
